Chief Executive Carrie Lam said she would invoke emergency powers to postpone the September elections, calling it the "most difficult decision I've made over the past seven months".
"This postponement is entirely made based on public safety reasons, there were no political considerations," she said.
Hong Kong has had more than 100 daily new cases, for 10 days in a row and is experiencing what's been described as a "third wave" of infections.
Lam says she fears Hong Kong's hospitals will be overwhelmed by new cases.
